3

Jordan Sherit

DL

6-4

240

Tampa Hillsborough

Sherit reminds many of former Alonzo standout and current Miami Hurricane, Anthony Chickillo. Jordan was a first team Class 6A all-state selection last season. This straight-A student has about 30 offers and can go wherever he wishes. He is one of the top guys on USF's board along with Hargreaves, and Bulls would love to keep him home. Sherit is like Chickillo __ a very high motor defensive end.

4

Mackensie Alexander

DB

5-10

170

Immokalee

another national recruit who decommited from Tennessee a few months ago. The first team all-stater in 2011, had three interceptions and would certainly have had more if teams did not throw away from him.

5

Leon McQuay III

DB

6-2

190

Seffner Armwood

McQuay is generally considered to be one of the nation's top safety prospect for 2013.

7

Alvin Bailey

ATH

5-11

175

Seffner Armwood

There may not have been a more exciting playmaker in the state last than Bailey who split duties between quarterback and wide receiver.

He compiled over 2,200 yards in total offense last season and earned first team 6A honors.

8

Deadrin Senat

DL

6-2

310

Immokalee

It was, "How do you pronounce that," at the January Under Armour camp for Senat, but now DEE-DRIN is a household name. Built like a house, the strong D-tackle brings a mean streak you gotta have down in those trenches, while his strength and footwork are relentless. As good as he is, he could still improve. A scary thought.

9

Travis Johnson

WR

6-3

230

Tampa Jesuit

In a class that has an abundance of big receivers, Johnson is one of the best.

11

Adam Lane

RB

5-8

200

Winter Haven

There may not be a stronger running back prospect in the nation than Lane who bench-pressed 415 pounds at the state meet which earned him a silver medal.

This four-year starter threw for 2,582 yards and 25 touchdowns in addition to rushing for just over 1,000 yards last season.

Joe Fennell

OL

6-4

312

South Fort Myers

19

Jayron Kearse

ATH

6-4

202

Tampa Hillsborough

Like teammate Jordan Sherit, Harris is another high academic type (3.9 g.p.a.), who is holding offers from Vanderbilt, USF, Texas Tech, and Indiana. This three-year veteran is a very heady defender who is more like a coach on the field for the Terriers.

21

T.J. Johnson

Cape Coral Island Coast

Johnson is one of the state's fastest running backs who projects as more of a slot receiver in college. T.J. who now attends his third high school in as many years, rushed for 750 years while sharing duties with FSU signee Mario Pender.
